sleeping outside

my son is starting nursery in november and i've found one i really like. the only issue i have is that they prefer the children to nap outside in prams and i'm not sure how i feel about that. any thoughts?

Eeek, starting to remind me of a certain Ch4 documentary.....do they insisit on this in winter too? And when they say prefer, do they mean you can say no and have them sleep inside if you want them to.

I have heard this befresome nurseries don't have sleep rooms so just rock the child in pushchair until it sleeps and then leave it under a hangar outsidenot much different to being asleepin the pushchair when you are out and about but not sure I'd like it everyday

I know - I hated that woman on 'Bringing Up Baby' and so that's why I don't like the idea of it. They said it's so they aren't disturbed whilst sleeping and can follow own sleep patterns and get lots of fresh air. I have asked for him to sleep inside in a cot and they've said that's fine. However, there isn't a separate room so don't know how well he'll sleep. I know this is quite a big issue but think I'm going to try it out as I love everything else about the place - apart from the fact that I have to sen DS there at all! Hope I'm making the right decision...

I wouldn't mind -- in fact, provided you aren't near a main road I think it's a good idea. Bringing Up Baby woman stuck them in prams in the garden and just left them there; presumably the nursery aren't planning to just do that but will keep an eye on them and respond to their needs.

However, prams are quite different here, they are like this due to artic weather conditions, and very padded. They children have sleeping bags, and a duvet on top, and most likely a sheepskin under. Most mums will put their children to sleep like this outside their front door.

We stayed with friends in Copenhagen when DS was just over one. We left DS and their baby DD in prams (they lent us one like the one in QS's link) asleep outside all over the place. DH and I were a little nervous it has to be said, not about the cold, but that someone would nick him

this happens at the nursery my kids go to. it was actually ofsted reccommendation. the room has glass doors to outside and they take naps in the pushchair just outside, so can be seen and heard, also there is a shelter so they dont get rained on or anything. i actually think its a good idea.

They do this at my dd's nursery and I'm quite happy with it. Most babies sleep outside in prams which are literally just outside the door of the babyroom in an enclosed outdoor area with an overhanging roof to keep them dry. If the weather is very poor they come inside. Its no different to your child sleeping in a pram whilst you are out shopping and its the only fresh air they get during the day.
